Description

This week features strange encounters in England and France. Terrance Zepke describes some of the most haunted places in America that she's investigated, from a former asylum in Appalachia to underground Portland. Plus, Kate Hopkins delves into the bittersweet history of candy, and shares her well-researched opinion on who makes the best chocolates in Europe.

There are several walking tours of the Portland, Oregon Underground Shanghai Tunnels. Information on the history of the tunnels is included on the Legends of America website.

The Queen Mary ocean liner is moored at Long Beach, California, and is a popular hotel and dining complex.

The haunted nightclub Terrance Zepke mentions near the end of her interview is Bobby Mackey's in Wilder, Kentucky, just outside Cincinnati. Their website says that ghosts will be admitted for free on Halloween. (Their website has audio which automically plays when you open the site.)

The Pirate's House is a popular restaurant and historical site in Savannah, Georgia, which Terrance suggests for a child-appropriate "haunted site."
